Call for Submissions to Anthology: Mid-Century Murder

Call for Submissions – Mid-Century Murder

We want stories that evoke the era, though its fashions, homes, furniture and furnishings, vehicles, restaurants, stores and products, music, movies, radio and television, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

For authors on Facebook, we suggest two groups that could be useful in grokking the era. The first is Mid-Century Advertising. You can learn a great deal about an era by studying the advertisements. On that group you will find an unending supply of such ads. Another Facebook group to check out is America in the 1950s. It leans a bit heavy toward sentimentality and nostalgia but you will find good information mixed in.

Submission Period: October 15th, 2018 – March 31st, 2019

Length: 2500 to 6000 words.
Stories outside that range will be considered, but their length will work against inclusion. We admit to a preference for slightly longer work, with four to five thousand words in the sweet spot. We expect the anthology to have approximately seventy-five thousand words.

Payment: Royalty
Fifty percent of the gross royalties per calendar quarter will be distributed equally among the contributors. Contributor copies will not be offered. A limited number of review copies will be available.

Previously Published:
Reprints are fine, provided:
You have the right to authorize us to publish your story

Call for Submissions: Kosmos Quarterly

Call for Submissions from Kosmos Quarterly

Deadline: February 15, 2019

Theme: Our Kosmos Quarterly Spring theme is focused on Earth and her wonders, with a deep awareness of the harm human activity is causing. How will the next chapter of our human story unfold, and how do our practices and personal relationships with the living Earth help guide that future? Could an elevated collective consciousness literally save our Home?

While there is a growing consciousness about the Earth, some suggest the Earth is also increasingly aware of us and communicating her pain. Animals, plants and minerals are members of the planetary family, in distress. What are the rights of Nature, and how do we cope with our grief, fear and anger about species loss, ecosystem destruction, and climate change?

We invite you to submit an essay up to 1000 words, a poem, or other artwork, in response to any of these prompts or what Rising Earth Consciousness means to you. We will choose several works to publish in our Quarterly and on our website.

Before you submit, please read guidelines carefully. You will make us very happy if you follow them!

Submit here.
